Question

Add an appropriate suffix to the following root word:
Shame

• A. tion
• B. ary
• C. ness
• D. less

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

When we add the suffix 'less' to the word 'shame', we get the word 'shameless'. We can use it in a sentence like... 'You have indeed been shameless to do such a deed..' Thus, Option C is correct.
The other options are incorrect because the suffixes 'ary', 'ness' and 'tion' don't justifiably go with the word 'shame'.
